The EU DEMO Tokamak is foreseen to be equipped with an electron cyclotron (EC) system for plasma heating, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) control, and thermal instability suppression. Up to six launchers will be installed into equatorial ports with the aim to inject a maximum of 130 MW millimeter wave power at frequencies of 136/170/204 GHz toward dedicated positions into the plasma. This article presents the current layout of the typical EC system launcher components within the available space reservation areas in the equatorial level of the DEMO baseline model. Beside the general arrangement of the EC launcher components, preliminary design features of the launcher port plug modules, an active cooling system approach, integration concepts for mirrors and waveguides (WGs) of the optical system, the shielding component formation, and safety important elements of the first containment barrier of the launcher are presented. Furthermore, relevant aspects of assembly and potential remote maintenance (RM) procedures are discussed.
